South and Western tunnel work progresses near Clinch mountain
Work on the South and Western tunnel through Clinch mountain at Speer's Ferry in Scott County Virginia pushes ahead as weather and labor allow. A heavy Saturday rain delays progress, but crews rapidly add laborers including new arrivals from Knoxville and Italian workers. The project, contracted to the W-Iton Contracting Co on November 1, looms large with a tunnel nearly a mile through, mountain height about 1000 feet, and extensive supporting work. A steam compressor, power pipes, and an electric lighting dynamo are installed as skeptics question the railroad's ultimate completion while locals recall the old Three Cs grade near Moccasin Gap and hope for a successful outcome.
